Interview: Sins of a Solar Empire 2 Producers Talk Upcoming DLC, New Features, and Modding
Interview/Article by Joey Brown

After over a decade since the iconic sci-fi RTS series saw its last entry, Ironclad Games and Stardock have finally delivered Sins of a Solar Empire 2. While this sequel is largely faithful to its predecessor, it has introduced several massive improvements. Perhaps most significantly, an engine upgrade with 64-bit and multithreading has resolved performance limitations that held back the original Sins of a Solar Empire, allowing the game's developers and passionate modding community to pursue their vision unhindered. Meanwhile, an all-new orbital mechanic gradually shifts the playing field, and more physics-based combat enabling destructible missiles and movable turrets brought some much-needed tactical depth.
